ajmitch | heh | 12:13 |
ajmitch | ok | 12:13 |
ajmitch | so what are you planning for your project? | 12:14 |
chaks | its called Linux Domain Management Server which would take care of , | 12:14 |
chaks | 1) Asset Management (h/w & s/w & Users & groups) | 12:15 |
chaks | 2) Software Distribution | 12:15 |
chaks | 3) Reporting | 12:15 |
chaks | and yes, the application shold be made easier to write still more plugins as features | 12:15 |
ajmitch | ok, and how do you propose to go about it? | 12:16 |
ajmitch | using LDAP with some custom schemas? | 12:16 |
chaks | LDAP would be there as for the Domain Concept | 12:16 |
chaks | and would extract info from them and have a small db to manipulate them | 12:16 |
chaks | i can pass on the presentation to you now, if u r free to see them | 12:17 |
ajmitch | sure | 12:17 |
chaks | which wold make u clear a bit | 12:17 |
ajmitch | where are you at the moment? | 12:17 |
chaks | Me at my room | 12:17 |
chaks | Arana Hall (hope you know :D) | 12:17 |
ajmitch | yep, I know it | 12:17 |
=== ajmitch was at st margarets college in 1st year | ||
chaks | oh, thats the next building! :D | 12:18 |
ajmitch | dcc won't work | 12:18 |
ajmitch | send to ajmitch@ubuntu.com | 12:18 |
chaks | oh | 12:18 |
chaks | ok | 12:18 |
ajmitch | what's the timeframe for this project? something to get finished by the end of the year? | 12:19 |
=== ajmitch guesses feature freeze for feisty+1 will come around early august/late july | ||
chaks | yes, its one year | 12:20 |
chaks | and it needs lots of work :( | 12:20 |
Burgundavia | well, release early, release often | 12:21 |
chaks | but as a team, we could implement it :) | 12:21 |
Burgundavia | get a website setup and get something into my hands | 12:21 |
chaks | sure :) | 12:21 |
Burgundavia | I have a small live setup I can play with | 12:21 |
chaks | kewl | 12:21 |
ajmitch | sure, I think Zhiyi would be ok with it being done with non-uni people | 12:21 |
ajmitch | you'd have to talk to him about it though | 12:21 |
chaks | ajmitch, email sent | 12:21 |
ajmitch | thanks | 12:22 |
chaks | Zhiyi is pretty ok with it | 12:22 |
chaks | and he wants me to do this | 12:22 |
ajmitch | ok | 12:22 |
chaks | atleast the prototype, becoz he thinks its good | 12:22 |
chaks | and i told him that i am gonna start collaborating with ubuntu team | 12:22 |
=== ajmitch is flatting with someone who teaches in tele | ||
ajmitch | you may have met cameron kerr | 12:23 |
ajmitch | to work on stuff in ubuntu, there needs to be specifications written & agreed on | 12:24 |
=== chaks doesnt teach tele301 , just one lecture | ||
chaks | i havent met yet | 12:24 |
chaks | yea, i saw in the website | 12:24 |
ajmitch | ok | 12:25 |
chaks | have a look at my presentation and woud love to get ur views | 12:25 |
ajmitch | just waiting for the email to arrive | 12:25 |
chaks | oh | 12:25 |
ajmitch | ok, got it | 12:26 |
chaks | :) | 12:26 |
ajmitch | from the first few pages, it looks ambitious for a 1 year project | 12:27 |
chaks | :) | 12:28 |
=== ajmitch wonders how much of the client agent could be borrowed from code that's already written | ||
ajmitch | eg authtool, which I wrote for configuring network authentication on the client, and is quite modular | 12:29 |
ajmitch | I've also been packaging stuff like fedora directory server for ubuntu | 12:29 |
chaks | oh...fds!...it was crap for me...and i was nt able to make clients authenticated against fds :( | 12:30 |
chaks | seeked their help, irc, none helped | 12:30 |
chaks | and later i switched to openLDAP | 12:30 |
chaks | and in one hour i had my setup | 12:30 |
ajmitch | heh | 12:30 |
ajmitch | that's why I'm trying to make it easy to use :) | 12:30 |
chaks | authtool can be used for authentications and not sure what other features authtool has ;) | 12:30 |
ajmitch | plus I like a mix of LDAP & Kerberos, though using pam-ldap over SSL/TLS isn't so bad | 12:31 |
ajmitch | since I wrote authtool, I know it can be extended easily :) | 12:31 |
chaks | i haven gone to the Security stuffs like SSL/TLS yet :) | 12:31 |
chaks | *havent | 12:31 |
=== ajmitch has it on the laptop | ||
chaks | ajmitch, me going to department now | 12:31 |
ajmitch | ok | 12:32 |
chaks | want to throw away fedora setup | 12:32 |
ajmitch | heh | 12:32 |
chaks | and bring in ubuntu openldap up :D | 12:32 |
ajmitch | yeah, all the workstations there using fedora.. | 12:32 |

=== vpol [n=vpol@home.vpol.org.ru] has left #ubuntu-directory ["Ex-Chat"] | ||
chaks | i told him, i am gonna use ubuntu in my assigned machines | 12:32 |
